1. Sack the manager, proven formula for success

2. Get another manager in and then dont give him two seasons to bring in his own culture/players/management

3. Repeat

Its not typical city, its typical city fans that have the patience of a mayfly looking for a shag

The best chance we have of lifting any silverware in the next 5 years is by sticking with Mancini

Its March - we have a good chance of champs league footy, a slim chance of the FA cup and a chance of the europa - certainly no progress there then

And if we finish 5th, get knocked out at the semi final stage of the fa cup and the rnd of 16 of the Europa, would that still be progress? Because we have a better chance of my scenario happening than yours.

[Tony P]

Slightly off topic, can we have a whip round to buy Mancini a new word? He seems to have worn out his 'normal'.

Sorry Slim, I thought my point was obvious, let me explain.......

My reply to your question was that I do not agree with your statement and that impartial others who have no axe to grind (bookies) seem to concur.

Even though my reply was short, the implication was that, as you seem convinced that your subjective opinion is indeed fact, and in the spirit of brotherly love, you could use your knowledge to win enough money to get the ceiling fixed

You haven't come close to answering that.

[lets all have a disco]

I cant wait for Wembley but i'm also not going to be soaking up any of Mancini's man milk until we actually win something.
We got to a semi final whoop whoop and all that but lets leave the bronze in the kiln until they actually win it.

Patrick, you forgot:

So after two and a half years and almost £400 million in transfer outlay it's too much to ask that we play attractive, winning football?

And don't give me the shite about Mancini's not had control for the full 2 1/2 years ...... he's had plenty long enough to turn us into a slow, ponderous, and BORING team.

What an appalling thread!

I thought Bluemoon was a nest of Rag infiltrators, but this perhaps proves that no, this is what 35 years of failure have done to City fans.

I gather from that you weren't watching City when Ron Saunders was manager?

Its a fucling idiot question - but if you persist - if we get less points than we did last year - if we do worse in the cups and if we end up in a lower league position I think most would agree it isnt progress. If we look at your scenario - perhaps it would be slight progress - perhaps not - certainly not huge progress.

Im hoping the point of all this is going to be jawdropping and doesnt contain too many ifs

Actually I think its turned into a decent thread with some excellent points well made.

[Beefymcfc]

Just a side note, did anyone see this on the OS (fans point of view)?

You have to hand it to
Signor Mancini. A League Cup
semi last season, FA cup
semi this. If it sounds like
relatively small beer to
some, try following
Manchester City for 36
years.

[wesmancity]

Sorry guys again proves the guys clueless. Mario is a fucking joke and did we really deserve out from tonight? no we didnt because our manager can not motivate the players we have.

[King Kev]

How any City fan can be smug at a time like this is beyond me.

Whos smug?

Im fucking pissed off to fuck!...Im sick of turning up week in week out home and away and watching a bunch of fucking money wanking lazy twats running around a football field. Where was the passion to CLOSE down tonight? There was only Tevez who gave a fuck and its all down to Mancini! we will never be successful with him as our manager.

There was about 10 mins after arsehole's sending off and again in the 2nd half following some really bad decisions, when the players seemed angry, fired up. Once they calmed down, they reverted to orders/tactics. Strange that they looked most threatening when they ignored the manager

Meaning:- They played their natural game until the managers restrictive ways kicked back in. We all know what happens to players who don't tow the line.
